Honestly, I would imagine that every person on this thread has quite a bit of objectivity and honor, in their own fashion. I apologize for implying otherwise.
With that said, I must bow out of this debate. Morella is a close personal friend, and as such I cannot objectively defend him or his statements here from his critics, at least not with charity, given the type of attack.
I also know that his schedule is grueling, both his work duties and his further graduate level studies in philosophy. He has neither the time nor the desire to participate in ongoing forum discussions, either on FR or elsewhere on the internet, and I should not have involved him in this thread.
Debating the relative merits of atheistic philosophy is not my own area of expertise. My own subject area is the morality of reproductive technology.
Good day. You have won the debate. God Bless you.
Prophetic, I shoulda shut up after that post... oh well
If true, only by default. I would have preferred that we resolved the issue. Best regards.
